Door

A door is an architectural object in The Sims games.

Doors must be placed on walls.

Some doors have male and female versions, and do not allow Sims of the opposite sex to go through, though they do not appear to affect NPCs. These doors are often used to construct single-sex bathrooms on community lots.

While The Sims did not include the ability to lock doors, lockable doors were available as custom content. Maxis added the ability to lock doors in The Sims 2: Open for Business.

There is a glitch with both Open For Business and Bon Voyage that sometimes after using a door it will stay open, and never close. This can be annoying, but easily fixed by deleting the door with Move_objects on and replacing it.

In The Sims 2: Apartment Life a bookcase can be used as a hidden door. Hidden doors are also features in tombs in The Sims 3: World Adventures.
